Tuesday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/Rapira day 2
Speick SC
Keri unscented moisturizer
Booster Polar Ice AS
JHL Cologne

Me like da Speick so mucho - this cream has ingredients in it which work wonders on sensitive skin. I enjoyed a very nice, smooth and comfortable shave this morning, and the Polar Ice aftershave gave me that great barbershop scent which doesn't fight with my JHL cologne. :biggrin:

 

That's pretty good, two Speick users in a row.

 

Make it 3...

Gem OCMM
Gem Stainless PTFE
Omega 11047
Speick SC
Alum

Was there a full moon out last night?

 

Tuesday 22 November

The cut has fully healed so I am back

Hot shower
Starbuck Italian Roast Black
Palmolive Menthol SC
Berkley 46, face lather
Alcolado Glacial and Proraso ASB

A very nice two pass shave today. I didn't want to overdo it this morning so I took it a bit easy, DFS. I love the palmolive menthol, very cool with some good skincare properties. With Alcolado Glacial a nice chilly shave for a wet Tuesday morning.

A nice shave with Arko and the Gem Jr!

 

Tuesday

Razor: Dovo Best Quality 6/8
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: Tabac
A/S: Old Spice

One of the best shaves I've had in awhile with any razor! Topped off with Old Spice and my mid-short-workweek shave could not have been better!

 

Bugs Bunny said it best, "Of course you realize, this means WARS!"

 

Todays shave was inspired by Dridecker:

Tom's of Main St. Shaving Cream
The Dridecker Brush
Gem G Bar
Ted Pella
TSD English Fern Splash
Phyto Expert Balm
Music-Grateful Dead 1993 at Rosemont Horizons-the podcast "Deadpod" ran this show that I was at-very cool!

 

Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - Today's the day!

1. Prep: Hot shower; CB Super Sensitive Lotion; hand strop blade
2. Coffee: Locally roasted, fresh ground Tanzanian Peaberry w/ cream
3. Lather: C.O. Bigelow + M-Bomb - bolw lather
4. Brush: Vulfix 2234
5. Razor: Gem HFT
6. Blade: Pella SS PTFE coated (3); 3 passes
7. Post: Warm water rinse; cold water splash; California Baby super sensitive face lotion

I may have to get the Speick out tomorrow as it is great, but I'm trying to finish off what's left of my Bigelow cream. I just keep being able to squeeze more and more out of that tube. I guess I didn't get enough frost goodness on Menthol Monday so I added about 6 drops of M-Bomb to my lather bowl and mixed it nicely into the Bigelow with the 2234. Mounds of frosty lather had me singing Frosty the Snowman this morning and I now have the Christmas music playing at work. Anyone doing a 2am shave Friday mornign before getting out in the Black Friday nonsense?

Shave Rating - Splendid. God Bless!

 

The only thing that will be black on Friday is the darkness because my eyes will be closed. I will be sound asleep.

 

You and me both... I hope! My 2yr old and house guests may say differently though.

 

Tuesday:

Expert Barber 400 6/8
The Dridecker
EU Palmolive Stick
Alum Block
Witch Hazel
Afta Fresh Balm
Old Spice After Shave Splash

 

Yup.

 

Tuesday

Prep: Hot shower
CD: Lightnin' Hopkins ~ The Best of Lightnin' Hopkins
Coffee: Home roasted, fresh ground Ethiopia Illubabor, BLACK
Cream: KMF Unscented + 2 drops Em's Woodstock EO
Brush: H. Stern Co. 1006 with original knot
Razor: Stahly head on Fat Handle Tech handle (I find the huge Stahly handle just too much)
Blade: ASR Platinum Chrome, day 2, 3+ passes
Post: Cold water rinse, Dickenson's WH, Pinaud Clubman, hand strop blade

Shave Rating: 5 Blades

Another super shave. With springs in the head, the Stahly makes for an interesting shave. Can't say that I'm keen on the wind up/vibrate feature.
